MobyGames

I realize MobyGames is a reasonably respected website, but it's a bit distressing to see how many links you've added to that website. It really looks like that you work for MobyGames or are in some way affiliated with them. It might be helpful if you made other constructive edits besides just adding external links, as that looks very controversial. Chicken Wing 23:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I do not work for MobyGames and I am not affiliated with them in any ways. If you noticed I have added MobyGames links mostly to game stub pages. Game stub pages are usually quite uninformative without screenshots. That is why I have added those links. Do you consider this reasonable? --The NeveR SLeePiNG 09:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Sounds fine. I've had quite a hard time with spammers lately, and I wanted to try to make sure this wasn't just another elaborate effort to market a website. Sometimes even when people aren't affiliated with a specific website, they're so obsessed with it that they're compelled to boost its profile by adding links all over Misplaced Pages. Chicken Wing 19:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding indiscriminate links to Mobygames. There is an ongoing discussion Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#MobyGames_policy.3F about these links, many of which lead to less content than is contained on the related Misplaced Pages article. Please review your links and consider which are really appropriate under WP:EL. Continuing to add Mobygames links that contain little or no content will probably be viewed as spam WP:SPAM. I encourage you to contribute to the ongoing discussion before continuing your pattern of editing. Nposs 01:53, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me about Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#MobyGames_policy. The NeveR SLeePiNG 13:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
